I'm not sure what to do about this. I put it up there to share with fans,
in the same way that we've been putting up copies of bootlegs and rare
b-sides, etc. I've got other "early versions" on CDs distributed by
Powderworkers in the past - okay these were early live versions, but they
were still raw, and under-developed.

I didn't put the song on the FTP site to humiliate the band. I put it
there because I thought people would appreciate the evolution of a song. I
know I do. 

I'm not going to remove it. If anyone is strongly against it, they can
bombard me, or take it into their own hands and remove it. I don't even
know if I'm able to delete it.

Cheers,
